Lebanon County is expected to see up to 7 inches of snowfall by Wednesday morning, but conditions may not be as bad they sound.

"Most of the accumulation will be on grassy areas," Aaron Tyburski, a forecaster with the National Weather Service, said. "Temperatures will stay a few degrees above freezing during the storm, which should help in keeping accumulations lower on the roadways."

There will be more accumulation to the east of the county, Tyburski said, with Myerstown residents likely to be in the 7-inch range while those in the Palmyra area seeing snowfall in the 4- to 5-inch range.

A rain and snow mix is due to start at 10 p.m. with snow beginning to fall in earnest at 1 a.m., according to Accuweather.

"It looks like there will be a good melting in the days following the storm," Tyburski said. "The angle of the March sun will help to melt off the snow."

Sunny, dry days can be expected Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and that will also help in a rapid melting of the snow off of sidewalks and roadways, but it will linger longer on the grassy areas, according to Tyburski.
